Poem:

.

a hot muggy summers night
air so thick it hazes the moonlight
crickets and frogs don’t seem to mind
what a wonderful world God has designed

man’s so vain he thinks he can affect the weather
it’s Mother Nature who puts things together
evolution caused by the Earth’s wobble
man is but one percent of the climate bobble

the earth’s crust is constantly shifting
the tectonic plates are always drifting
man’s existence is but a blip on the Earth’s timeline
for what little we know we can thank Einstein

who cares if New York City sinks under the sea
that Saint Andreas fault sets California free
is there an Orwellian world in our future
or will civilization flush itself down the sewer

will man’s ego still reign supreme
or will we wake up and learn that it was all a dream

Senryu:      5-7-5 ( Haiku with people and their emotions/feelings as a topic)

.

feelings of anguish

lost love leads to a heartbreak

emotional scars

.

Poem:

.

clear the noisy mind
leave the negative far behind
learn to love the silence
seek emotional balance

enjoy life one day at a time
never average, always the sublime
simply high on life, avoiding the chaos
for others misfortune a real pathos

don’t just practice being kind
share with others your peace of mind
make sure your love is unconditional
never a fake, really, truly convincible

for the ignorant, patience and tolerance
for the stupid a heart felt sufferance
no resentments allowed, know that forgiveness heals
a contrite heart to the world appeals

be the person your God wants you to be
the soul that is happy, joyous and free
